I’ve seen friends from outside Sunderland today. Coming to Sunderland and looking forward to the Empire and the Fire Station. Let’s celebrate SunLun so newcomers to our delightful city know what to do or where to go. I’ll start the beaches and Tunstall Hills. Next.
Miss the beaches so much I do. Exiled for way too long. Simple walk on the beach early morning does it for me. I settle for a walk along the river not far from me, which is a reasonable substitute at 6am, but not the same.
Immerse yourself in the city centre any pub of choice and you’ll meet the finest folk in the land, not even a mackem myself but I ****ing love the city and its people, footy teams canny too
I know I said southwick and was trying to be funny but I think the new road bridge is a brilliant sight
I know. But it is a lovely cycle through, which I’ve done many times. My reply was both a rebuff and a nod to your humour. Gan canny.
I’m lucky enough to live in Seaham where the beach is a ten min walk away. Get back to Sunderland first a few days and stay down seaburn !
Funnily enough, I'm just back home from going to see Wicked at the Empire with the family. We all loved it. Had a meal in Aperitif beforehand and had a bit of time to kill before the show so had a wander down Keel and High St West. There was a real buzz around the fire station and Keel Square, plenty out having a drink in the Botanist, Keel Lounge and Fire Station. The old Argos block is fenced off ready for demolition and the old JJB sports building looks great with all the cladding off. Fantastic to see
